Maxim Position Statement

RoHS

Restriction of Hazardous Substances, an EU Directive, RoHS was implemented in 2006 and restricts the use of six (6) substances: Lead, Cadmium, Mercury, Hexavalent Chromium, Polybrominated Biphenyl (PBB), and Polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE) in electronic and electrical equipment.

In order to be RoHS compliant, concentrations must not exceed 0.1% by homogenous layer for all substances except Cd, which has a higher threshold of 0.01%. Exemptions can be found in Annex II of the regulation and applied, however, the goal of RoHS is to restrict the use of these substances if an alternative can be found. EU 2002/95/EC.

Registration, Evaluation and Authorization of Chemicals, an EU Regulation entered into force in 2007, regulates chemical substances manufactured, imported, or in products imported into the EU, that have been determined can negatively impact human health and the environment. The SVHC (Substances of Very High Concern) or Candidate list is updated at least twice a year with additional substances. EC 1907/2006.

End of Life Vehicles, an EU waste directive to reduce waste from vehicles reaching end of life. In addition to reuse, recycling and recovery targets, it prevents the use of heavy metals that may be used in vehicles and/or components to be used in vehicles. Lead, Mercury, Cadmium, and Hexavalent Chromium.

The financial Dodd-Frank Reform Act (Section 1502) requires companies registered on the US Stock Exchange to report and file the use of 3TGs (Tin, Tantalum, Tungsten and Gold) used to manufacture their products. This filing reports whether the sourcing of the 3TGs used had financed or benefited armed groups in the Democratic Republic of Congo or adjoining country.

Dimethyl fumarate, often found in moisture absorbing pillows contained in shipping containers as an effective bacteria and mold inhibitor, was placed on the REACH Annex XVII Restriction List in 2012 because of its topical irritant and sensitizing properties. Shipments by Maxim Integrated do not contain DMF as an intentional additive.

Red Phosphorous, a reactive, inorganic allotrope of Phosphorous, had been utilized as a flame retardant in mold compounds in the 1990s and was discovered to cause multiple device failures. Maxim products do not contain Red Phosphorous as an intentional additive.
